Does Sensei integrate with Traffic Shaper for Application Classifications?

[tswalker]

Title pretty much say it all, but I'm looking for something to help with the classification of traffic and Sensei looks like a near fit, but I need to be able to control flow not just block...  does Sensei integration assist with this?

Hi @tswalker, thank you for your interest in Sensei.

Traffic Shaping will be available in Q1 2021. This is one of the top requested features.

Just like you do with filtering now; you'll be able to create policies to match users/groups/networks, etc. and specify how you want specific Apps/App Categories/Web Categories to be treated in terms of QoS.

@tswalker, you're all welcome. Initial tests looking good.

It is now end of Q3 and no word on shaping. What's up?

I also would like to know what is going on with this. The site lists it as a feature https://www.sunnyvalley.io/docs/#next-generation-firewall-features but I am not seeing it anywhere. I would really like to test that function for a business case, but until its implemented, its a no go.

I heard through the grapevine so complete rumors that the backend work is in alpha testing and they are building out the GUI with a target of Q1 22. Total rumors you know.

Excuse me: In the paid version, can it be controlled by time, the use time of the module: For example: I want to prohibit the running of game programs at 10PM. It can be used again after 10AM. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Yes, you can configure the policy(ies) in the paid version and assign a scheduled time. Please check the following document for further information about policies.
